Important information about the altimeter

The altitude calculation works by measuring barometric pressure. Your VDO MC 1.0 converts the data of current barometric pressure into the respective altitude.

Depending on the barometric pressure (weather) different altitude readouts for the same location may be displayed. That these barometric changes do not

reflect in your altitude readout, your VDO MC 1.0 features an easy-to use barometric pressure re-calibration (see chapter 6.1.3)

Accurate calculation of altitude requires the precise determination of home or basis altitude.

To process barometric pressure data, there is a hole drilled into the bottom of the housing of your VDO MC 1.0.

This hole must never be clogged or taped over.

Please do check on its cleanliness regularly and free the hole carefully if needed.

You must never poke a pointed instrument into the hole.
